Hello,
I had a video deleted from YouTube recently. I did a version of Let's Get Lost which obviously I didn't write. In it I assumed the persona of Elvis Jagger also known as my real name. I did so in the vein of Elvis Costello.
I thought it was funny.
Anyway it stayed on YouTube and got close to 800 views. Today I find that it disappeared because I violated terms of service though I never received notice to that effect. I only found that I had violated service by googling the video.
What puzzles me is that there are many amateur videos of this song on YouTube. When I chose the name Elvis Jagger I had no idea that there was also some cartoon character out there called Elvis Jagger Abdul something or other.
Any thoughts or guidance? Ukulele musicians do post videos of standards often don't they, with no intent to profit from those videos?
I do not have permission to use the song but how do others get away with it? I was not making money from my video. Did a certain Mr. Jagger get pissed off?
I have recently copyrighted a song and joined ASCAP. Supposedly this song is on some popular Spotify list and I have a video for the song. Does any of this factor in?
I've got a number of standards I wish to perform and make videos of.
Thanks
